Chapter 360 Unification of the North (15th)
"Leader, the defense here is not strict, there are only about 2,000 people"
"Well, Huzi, we will kill later. You send a signal here to inform the army outside the city," Ma Zheng, commander of Jinyiwei, said in a low voice.
"My leader, I'm also going to kill the enemy and kill these dogs," Huzi's eyes were red, his teeth clenched his lips, and he squeezed his mouth.
Ma Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will avenge your parents and sister. Remember, you are now a Youzhou Army and a Jinyiwei soldier. As a soldier, as a soldier, you have to obey orders, do you understand?"
"Yes, Commander"
The tiger lowered his head.
"Okay, everyone get ready, attack in half an hour"
"Yes, Commander"
"Lord, brothers suffered heavy casualties, don't they..."
"No," Li Zhong said indifferently.
"What's the news from the east?" Li Zhong asked.
The general shook his head.
"Report"
"Lord, General Huang Zhong came to report that the East Gate had been captured by our army and asked for instructions from the Lord." At this time, a messenger rushed to Li Zhong and jumped off the war horse to observe the report.
Li Zhong smiled with relief and said, "Ma Zheng and the two really lived up to my expectations."
"The order ordered Han Sheng to stay 10,000 iron horses to defend the city tower. The two generals of Han Sheng and Deng Zhan immediately led the rest of the iron horses to turn to the south gate and cooperate with Uncle Zhi to destroy as many living forces as possible to annihilate the enemy. In addition, he was ordered to let him understand that the Wuwan iron cavalry entered Chang'an from the east and seize the treasury, granary and other places in Chang'an City. If necessary, you can send someone to support Hansheng and Deng Zhan's battle," Li Zhong said slowly, and finally there was a wave in his heart.
"Report, my lord, general, east gate, east gate," an officer hurried to Li Ru and Lu Bu and said hesitantly.
Li Ru knew that the big thing was not going well and took a deep breath. Li Ru asked solemnly, "What's going on?"
"Your Excellency, East Gate, East Gate, is captured by the enemy," the officer said word by word.
"Waste, that waste of Cai Bo, come to kill me." Li Ru only felt dizzy and couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest. He knew what this news meant to him and the whole Dong Zhuojun.
"Your Excellency, General Cai Bo has died in the battle"
"Li Ru, what should I do now?" Lv Bu frowned and asked in a low voice.
Li Ru lamented and said, "Now that the East Gate has been broken, our army's defense of Chang'an has no meaning. Retreat and retreat to Huai. As long as Li Zhong wants to move west, he must pass through Huai Li, and we will wait for them there."
Although this can be regarded as a shame for Lv Bu, there is no better way now. The morale is low, and the army and our fighting spirit and retreat are the only choice.
"Damn it, sooner or later, Li Zhong's husband will pay the price," Lv Bu cursed viciously, but it seemed a little reluctant, and anyone could say harsh words.
Li Ru smiled undeniably and said, "Then please cut off General Fengxian, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, you two immediately organize a large army and retreat to Huai Li."
"Yes"
There was no suspense in this war. The victory of the Youzhou army was a solid stone. Li Ru and Lu Bu finally fled with more than 50,000 remnants.
200,000 troops were extinguished in three days, leaving only a quarter.
Chang'an's governance office, at this moment, Chang'an is really under the control of the Youzhou Army.
"Han Sheng, uncle, you two lead the army to continue to clean up the remnants of the enemy in Chang'an City. Deng Zhan, you led the tiger and leopard iron horse west into the village for 50 miles, thinking that it was a warning," said the tiger generals under Li Zhong's court, a little excited.
"Yes, Lord"
"Dun, you lead the Wuwan iron horse to garrison Luoyang, and place the prisoners by the way. Don't slack off," Li Zhong said.
"Yes, Lord"
"Okay, go down," Li Zhong said to the crowd with a little fatigue.
The crowd filed out of the lobby.
The three-day fierce battle has caused different degrees of damage to the ancient capital of Chang'an. The people of Chang'an City can only hide at home and tremble, praying that this damn war will end soon, because they can only face the fate of either side to be slaughtered.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"Fathers and fellow villagers in Chang'an, we are soldiers under the command of the general. Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and has been driven out of Chang'an. Our Youzhou army is a benevolent and righteous division. If you find any Youzhou army soldiers looting, you can go to Chang'anfu to expose them. At the same time, warn those small people to keep yourself safe, if you are Our army found that there is no forgiveness"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The street is full of Youzhou soldiers with gongs shouting. Every time they attack the city, they will do this to appease people's hearts.
Sure enough, as the Youzhou army said, no Youzhou army soldiers plundered everywhere like Dong Zhuojun, and those gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the fire did not dare to stroke the Youzhou army and Li Zhong's beard.
The next day, there were some people on the street, and some stores had reopened their doors to do business.
Although there are not many people, at least it is a good start. The so-called beginning of everything is difficult. As long as you step out, it is not far from success. Moreover, the reputation of the Youzhou army and general Li Zhong has also been recognized by the people all over the world. At least Li Zhong in people's minds is a kind and benevolent. The great general of politics.
The so-called public mouth is full of gold, and many people already have their own definition in their hearts.
"Lord, General Han Hu, General Le Jin, Ju Yi led the army to come," an iron guard came to Li Zhong and said respectfully.
Li Zhong nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that Luoyang's matter has been solved. Let them come in."
Last night, Li Zhong had a good sleep, eating steamed buns, drinking porridge, and adding a little pickles. This was the breakfast of General Li Zhong.
"Lord"
After a while, Le Jin and the three came to Li Zhong.
"Have you had breakfast?" Li Zhong asked with a smile. Now he is in a good mood. No matter who he talks to, he looks smiling.
"The last general has eaten," the three bowed.
Li Zhong waved his hand and said, "I don't know you yet. I'm adding three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. In addition, I told the kitchen to make some porridge and steamed buns." Li Zhong turned to a waiter and said.
"Yes, lord", the waiter said with a promise and turned away.
"Sit down," Li Zhongchao said.
"This, the general has passed away." The three were stared at by Li Zhong, but they nodded helplessly and did it respectfully, and a warm current rose in their hearts.
"How is Luoyang now?" Li Zhong asked.
"Lord, Yuan Feng and other rebels have been annihilated. Yuan Feng, Yuan Huai and other rebels have been captured by our army, but the food and fodder were burned by the rebels, losing 300,000 yuan of grain and fodder. In addition, the lord's mansion and the Yellow Palace also had some different degrees of damage." Lejin held the boxing.
Li Zhong nodded and said, "In the months of war, our army has lost more than 150,000 troops. The soldiers have been exhausted, and countless grain and fodder have been lost, ah," Li Zhong sighed with great heartache.
"How is the addition of your three legion," Li Zhong asked.
"Our legion has been replenished, and 130,000 troops are waiting for the master's order," Le Jin and three others said in a low voice.
Li Zhong nodded and said, "Now it's almost June. Our army has lost too much and it is not easy to fight again. Come and inform Huang Zhong, Chen, Deng Zhan and the four of them will arrive in Chang'an Prefecture tomorrow. I have something to announce."
"Yes"
The three generals had breakfast, looked at the injured Dian Wei, and comforted the wounded soldiers. Li Zhong dragged his tired body back to the mansion.
The next morning, Chang'an Office.
Li Zhong sat in the main seat, Xu Chu stood sideways beside Li Zhong, and the generals stood separately.
"Our army left Youzhou in March. After the March campaign, all the generals have worked hard," Li Zhong said.
"The Lord's battle will fight on the battlefield, and the final generals will die," the generals shouted loudly.
Li Zhong smiled and said, "Now our army has not only defeated Dong Zhuo and annihilated more than 500,000 enemies, but also captured the Luoyang area, Jing Zhaoyin and Feng Yi County, but our own losses have also exceeded 150,000, and the soldiers are also very tired, so I decided to return to Luoyang tomorrow."
"Lejin"
"The End"
"I ordered you to be the governor, the military of the governor's Sanfu region, the 11th Legion of Han Hu, the 12th Legion of Chen Daozhi, and you left 50,000 Wuwan iron riders and handed them over to Wen Qian for unified command," Li Zhong said slowly.
"Yes"
"The rest of the generals will return to Luoyang with me tomorrow"
"Yes"
Leave 200,000 troops to guard Sanfu, General Lejin as the governor, and the governor Sanfu military, while Li Zhong led Huang Zhongzhi's seventh legion, Ju Yimo knife legion, Deng Zhanhu leopard iron horse and one of the Teton Wuwan iron horse to return to Luoyang.
After nearly seven days of march, the army finally returned to Luoyang City.
According to the usual practice, the remains of the fallen soldiers entered the city first, and then Li Zhong returned to the general's mansion with a group of generals and nearly 2,000 iron guards.
Zhou Yu, Xi Zhicai, Li Dian and others who stayed in Luoyang have already been waiting in the general's lobby.
"Lord"
Zhou Yu and others saluted Li Zhong.
"This battle is really thanks to Gong Jinzhi and Manchester City, otherwise hundreds of thousands of troops on my front line will have to starve and fight with the enemy." Li Zhong smiled and said to Zhou Yu and others. Li Zhong was also quite gratified to be assisted by such virtuous ministers.
"This is the matter of subordinates (the last general)," the three said respectfully.
"Well, if you continue to be so polite, you have to finish your meal," Li Zhong joked.
Everyone can't help laughing.
"Although our army has won a huge victory in this battle, it also highlights our shortcomings. Gongjin, have the reps arrived?" Li Zhong asked.
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Lord, 200,000 soldiers recruited from Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou have arrived in Luoyang."
